With spring comes warmer, sunnier days and that means more time playing outside. I remember being a kid and getting excited when it was finally nice enough to once again break out the sidewalk chalk and bubbles. Longer days also allow for more after-school and weekend time playing at the park or in the backyard, with classics like jump rope and playground balls!

Super-cute Sunny Patch outdoor lifestyle collection.

Cute Sunny Patch toys are perfect for afternoons in the garden and for discovering tactile play outside in all sorts of places like the sandbox, backyard, beach, cottage or park. Cheerful, bright colours and smiling characters make this collection perfect for spring. Featuring super-soft sprinklers, adorable little garden tools, and a wide selection of more outdoor favourites, Sunny Patch has everything your little one needs to get adventurous outside.

Another fun way to celebrate spring outdoors, is to get together and plant a family garden with VeggiePOPS! These whimsical seed kits grow into edible veggies! If you're looking for a new way to play and inspire imagination this spring, check out the Irish Fairy Door. It's a fun way to invite a magical fairy into your home!
